Mikel Balenziaga ends his league with Athletic on June 30. About to be consummated this 2021 and with the headline poster with Marcelino García ToraHe, for the moment, the left back of Zumarraga he has not received any news from the club.

From day 1, as in the case of Capa, Dani García and De Marcos, since Raúl García has a 1 + 1 in your contract that soon ensures your continuity for one more course, Balenziaga has an open field to negotiate for any other club.
